A Place Where We Used To Live

Mark Knopfler

Transposer:

Time: 4/4 [Intro] | | | | [Verse 1] This empty kitchen’s where I’d while away the hours Just next to my old chair You’d usually have some flowers The shelves of books Even the picture hooks. Everything is gone E7 Asus2 Asus2 But my heart is hanging on [Verse 2] If this old neighbourhood Survived us both alright Don’t know that it withstood All the things that took our light You on the stair I can see you there. Everything is gone E7 Asus2 Asus2 But my heart is hanging on [Bridge] Once there was a little girl Used to wonder what she would be Went out into the big wide world Now she’s just a memory There used to be a little school here Where I learned to write my name But time has been a little cruel here Time has no shame [Chorus] It’s just a place where we used to live It’s just a place where we used to live [Verse 3] Now in another town You lead another life And now upstairs and down You’re someone else’s wife Here in the dust There’s not a trace of us. Everything is gone E7 Asus2 Asus2 But my heart is hanging on [Chorus] It’s just a place where we used to live It’s just a place where we used to live It’s just a place where we used to live It’s just a place where we used to live [Outro] (Repeat to fade)

Cette chanson évoque la nostalgie d'un passé partagé dans un espace qui, bien que vide aujourd'hui, résonne encore avec des souvenirs poignants. L'artiste se remémore les moments passés dans sa cuisine, entouré d'objets familiers et de l'absence de l'autre, soulignant comment ces souvenirs persistent malgré l'absence physique. Au fil des vers, on ressent une réflexion sur le passage du temps et la manière dont il peut effacer les traces des êtres chers, tout en laissant des marques dans notre cœur. Le changement de vie de l'autre et le sentiment que tout a disparu créent une mélancolie douce-amère, où la mémoire reste vivante malgré l'absence tangible.
